I will admit it, but I thought Nick would have been traded this past offseason for pitching help. Since his arrival from Indy, I am glad the Pirates did not move him.

Crow-Armstrong could play for us, too, as he looks at strike three right down the middle. Bucs win, 9-3. Congrats to Paul Skenes on his first major league win. I wonder how many he’ll end up with when his career is done?

Madrigal pops out. Two down.

Mastrobuoni strikes out. He’s hitting .150 so far. He’d fit right in playing for us.

Stratton stays on to pitch the 9th.

Joe left stranded at first. To the bottom of the 9th we go, Bucs holding onto that 9-3 lead.

Stratton wastes little time in getting a strike out. To the 9th, 9-3 Bucs.

Hunter Stratton replaces Ryan. Needs one more out here in the 8th.
